A Tibet Airlines plane caught fire after skidding off the runway in the southwestern Chinese city of Chongqing on Thursday morning. All 113 passengers and nine crew members were "evacuated safely," the airline said in a statement. More than 40 passengers with minor injuries were taken to hospital, according to a statement from the Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport. The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) said 36 people suffered bruises and sprains during the evacuation. "According to the flight crew, the plane experienced an anomaly during takeoff. They stopped the takeoff following the procedures," the CAAC said. "After the plane skidded off the runway, the engine scraped the ground and caught fire. (The fire) has been extinguished." The flight was bound for Nyingchi in Tibet. Footage posted on Chinese social media shows flames engulfing the front of the aircraft and a plume of black smoke billowing in the sky. Another video shows passengers running from the airplane. The cause of the accident is under investigation and flight operations at the airport have returned to normal, the airport said. The flight schedule shows the aircraft is an Airbus A319 that had been in service with the airline for nine and a half years. The incident came less than two months after a China Eastern Airlines jetliner carrying 132 people crashed in the mountains of southern China's Guangxi region, killing everyone on board. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the crash. Obobs!

The US has passed more than one million Covid-related deaths, says the White House. President Joe Biden said the country was marking "a tragic milestone" and each death was "an irreplaceable loss". It's the highest official total in the world - although the World Health Organization believes the true death toll may be much higher elsewhere. The US has also recorded more than 80 million Covid cases, out of a 330 million population. The first confirmed case was reported on 20 January 2020, when a man flew home to Seattle from Wuhan in China. The 35-year-old survived, after 10 days of pneumonia, coughs, fever, nausea and vomiting. But deaths began to be reported just a few weeks later. In the two years since, death rates have ebbed and flowed as waves of the virus swept across the country - reaching highs of more than 4,000 a day in early 2021. Public health experts give several reasons for the high US death toll - including high rates of obesity and hypertension, overworked hospital systems, some vaccine hesitancy and a large older population. Each US state may have a slightly different way to define a Covid death, and such deaths are often not solely because of the virus. "As a nation, we must not grow numb to such sorrow," said President Biden, in his statement marking the one million deaths. "To heal, we must remember. We must remain vigilant against this pandemic and do everything we can to save as many lives as possible." When did the deaths take place? The US has seen the number of daily reported deaths spike on several occasions, often coming as new variants spread across the country. The first wave - the initial pandemic - saw highs of more than 2,500 daily reported deaths in April 2020, about eight months before the first vaccines were rolled out in December. "The dangerous surges, where our hospitals were full and new deaths were overwhelming, have all come on the heels of new variants," Dr Mark Cameron, an associate professor in the department of population and quantitative health sciences at Case Western University in Ohio, told the BBC. Most of the one million Americans who died during the pandemic lost their lives after the vaccines were introduced. That's down to the sheer scale of people still catching the virus - it does not mean the vaccines aren't working. Vaccines massively cut severe Covid risk. A study from the Rand Corporation credited the jabs with saving 140,000 lives in the US by May 2021 alone. A separate analysis by the Peterson Center for Healthcare and the Kaiser Family Foundation in April this year estimated that around a quarter of the US deaths - about 234,000 people - could have been prevented with vaccines. "You can't necessarily simplify this to be a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Everyone knows someone who had the whole vaccination regimen and still got very sick," Dr Cameron added. "But the data is clear, the risk of Covid-19 and death is higher in the unvaccinated." Where in the US did the deaths take place? Of the 50 US states, the highest death toll has been reported in California, where about 90,000 people have died. California is followed closely by Texas (about 86,000), Florida (about 74,000) and New York (about 68,000). On a per capita basis, CDC data shows that Mississippi has suffered about 418 deaths per 100,000 residents, followed by Arizona (414), Alabama (399) and West Virginia (384). The per capita death rate in these states far surpasses the average US national rate of about 300 per 100,000. Experts point to several reasons why certain states suffered disproportionately, including unequal access to healthcare. Brittany Kmush, an epidemiologist and global health expert at Syracuse University, said socio-economic status often affected "being able to access hospitals with oxygen and things like that when patients need them". Dr Monica Gandhi, an infectious diseases physician and professor at the University of California San Francisco, said vaccine hesitancy also explains higher death tolls in certain states. In her analysis, shortcomings in vaccinations have contributed more to the US death toll than other public health measures, such as masking or isolation. Demographic trends While deaths have been reported across all age and ethnic groups, experts note that certain sectors of the population have been more likely to die - particularly the elderly and those with co-morbidities. Government data shows the vast majority of Covid deaths in the US - about 740,000 - have been among those older than 65. "Looking at severe illness and death, the demographics haven't changed throughout the pandemic. It has always been older adults, and those with co-morbidities especially," Dr Cameron explained. CDC data analysed by the Kaiser Family Foundation shows that overall - particularly in the early stages of the pandemic in 2020 - black, Hispanic and Native American populations experienced higher rates of both infection and death. Public health experts cite a range of reasons, including vaccine hesitancy among some groups, and an elevated risk of exposure due to working and living conditions. "Part of that is being unable to separate yourself from work," Dr Gandhi said. "And even after the vaccine, there was some scepticism in some of our black and Hispanic populations about taking up the vaccine. But there was a lot more acceptance after Delta. That really scared people." The true toll? While the death toll from Covid-19 now officially exceeds one million, the indirect toll of the virus is likely to be far higher, as a result of disrupted health systems and a hesitancy to seek medical attention for fear of catching the virus. One study, published in the journal PLOS Medicine in May 2021, found that for every 100 deaths directly assigned to Covid, another 20 "excess" deaths occurred that were not - many of them in areas with "lower socio-economic status". A study released on Thursday by the World Health Organization put the figure at 140 excess deaths per 100,000 people during 2020 and 2021 - totalling about 930,000 more lives lost than would have been expected on average. "People were waiting for surgery and not seeing their doctors, and [there were] missed opportunities for serious disease diagnoses," Dr Cameron said, adding that this was particularly true for those aged between 25 and 64. "It will be years before we even come close to understanding the impact Covid-19 had on our overall morbidity and mortality rates."

The Thailand government will distribute one million free cannabis plants to households across the nation in June to mark a new rule allowing people to grow cannabis at home, its health minister has said. Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul announced the move in a Facebook post on May 8 in which he expressed his intention for cannabis plants to be grown like "household crops." The new rule, which comes into force on June 9, will allow people to grow cannabis plants at home after notifying their local government, but the plants will have to be of medical grade and used exclusively for medicinal purposes. Additionally, the cannabis cannot be used for commercial purposes without further licenses. The move is the latest step in Thailand's plan to promote cannabis as a cash crop. About a third of its labor force works in agriculture, according to the World Bank. In a region notorious for harsh penalties towards illegal drugs, Thailand became the first country in Southeast Asia in 2018 to legalize cannabis for medical research and use. The kingdom has also loosened local laws around cannabis. Thai drinks and cosmetics companies last year rushed to launch products with hemp and CBD, a compound that does not give users a high, after their use was approved for consumer goods. In a further Facebook post on May 10, Anutin noted that Thai companies registered to do so could sell cannabis products that contained less than 0.2 tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the part of the plant responsible for getting people high. "This will enable people and the government to generate more than 10 billion baht per year in revenue from marijuana and hemp," Anutin wrote. Kitty Chopaka, a Bangkok-based cannabis entrepreneur, told CNN the law was meant to pave the way for people to use the plant in medicinal teas or soups. "It will still be considered criminal if you don't have a legal prescription and you have to be a patient of some form of ailment for this to work. Only then will you be able to grow cannabis at home and use it however you like." She added that, even though recreational use of the drug remained illegal, "smoking weed will happen, and there's no way the [government] can stop that." Mehn, Thailand here I come!

Nothing like wotowoto.... Russia has lost! |
Finland's president and prime minister announced their support for joining NATO on Thursday, moving the Nordic nation which shares an 800-mile border with Russia one step closer to membership of the US-led military alliance. The statement of support for NATO from President Sauli Niinisto and Prime Minister Sanna Marin had been expected, after the Finnish government recently submitted a report on national security to the country's parliament which outlined the path to joining the alliance as one of Finland's options. In the joint statement, Niinisto and Marin said: "NATO membership would strengthen Finland's security. As a member of NATO, Finland would strengthen the entire defence alliance. Finland must apply for NATO membership without delay. We hope that the national steps still needed to make this decision will be taken rapidly within the next few days." Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February, public support for joining NATO in Finland has leaped from around 30% to nearly 80% in some polls. Once parliament has approved the idea in principle and any other domestic legislative hurdles have been cleared, it is expected that NATO would invite Finland to negotiate its accession. It is also expected that Sweden, Finland's neighbor to the west, will soon announce its intention to join the alliance through a similar process. Russia has warned both countries against joining NATO, saying there would be consequences. European diplomats and security officials widely assume that Finland could join the alliance quickly once negotiations start, as it has been buying military hardware compatible with its Western allies, including the US, for decades and already meets many of the criteria for membership. Finland joining NATO would have both practical and symbolic consequences for Russia and the Western alliance. Since the end of World War II, Finland has been militarily non-aligned and nominally neutral in order to avoid provoking Russia. It has indulged the Kremlin's security concerns at times and tried to maintain good trading relations. The war in Ukraine, however, has sufficiently changed the calculation, so that joining NATO now seems the best way forward, regardless of what Russia's reaction might be. European defense officials who have talked to CNN in recent months assume that NATO countries will offer some guarantees around Finland's security during the accession process, in case Russia retaliates before it has formally joined. On Wednesday, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced new security pacts with Finland and Sweden, pledging to come to either country's assistance if one of them came under attack. Finland has historically had high defense spending and still has a policy of conscription, with all adult men liable to be called up for military service. It is widely acknowledged among NATO officials that Finland joining the alliance would be a significant boost in countering Russian aggression because of how seriously the country has historically treated its own security. It also shares more than 800 miles of border with Russia, which is significant as the Kremlin stated before invading Ukraine that it wanted to see NATO roll back its borders to where they were in the 1990s. Instead, President Vladimir Putin's gambit may result in a stronger NATO creeping closer.
